On the other hand, it is possible to introduce the coordinates manually and the direction of the runway can be changed in the configuration menu by pressing 1.

Spot¶

This option reffers to a kind of runway where a initial point and its azimuth is defined by Select airport option or the user information. Besides, it is necessary to define a Delta angle as is shown in the image. The aircraft will land or take off using the best orientation computed inside the area limited by the parameters introduced.
